Dear Valentine,
Take a moment, and close your eyes.
Think back to a time when someone did something unexpectedly nice for you or surprised you with their kindness.
Recapture the feeling of that moment.
Let it wash over you.

Welcome!

Hey, glad you stopped by! We at GlobeMed at UT are a group of passionate university students who believe that health is a human right. Though we often get confused for a pre-med organization, we actually come from a wide variety of majors and backgrounds – everything from marketing to public health. Basically we’re all just passionate about creating a world where no one has to die of a preventable disease just because they were born into a certain income level or country.

If you want to stay in the loop regarding any upcoming events or ways you can help, make sure to subscribe to our newsletter. We promise not to fill up your precious inbox!

We’d love to hear from you too! The easiest way to get in touch is through social media (facebook, twitter, or instagram), but feel free to drop us a line at austin@globemed.org as well. Looking forward to hearing from you!

About Us

Founded in 2010, GlobeMed at The University of Texas at Austin is one of 50 chapters that comprise the GlobeMed network. We partner with Clinica Ana Manganaro (CAM), a free community health clinic in Guarjila, El Salvador that shares our vision of health as a human right. Our chapter is made up of 50 active undergraduate students working in solidarity with the community of Guarjila to implement long-term initiatives to better the health and quality of life in rural El Salvador. We are a diverse group of students, studying everything from business to public health, but we are united in our vision that health is a human right, regardless of where you live or your socioeconomic status.
